Our Police Court.

1t is commonly understood that several

,,licatiuu in the p.lice coult here are by Ell

Tue excuse fJr exhuriing the question is TIL
opportunity given to make ful ther comments

With tie exception Of the three eases .
carrying pistol there is little different from
what wuu.d be the record in our municip
court.
In what is done in the Norfolk court ccm
paled with What is done here upon surl
cases is demonstrated the great disadvantag
aud expense under which the citizens o
New Castle county lie. The tria Of thes
three cases could hardly have exceeded 81
20 SIS in cost, Tie prisoners wOnld be, j
he usual order OF things, tried the m"rDin
,iter ther arrest. The citizens Of Norf"l
County, Virginia, would be put to little e1
ense ia these cases. Surprising, howevt
) such trial list should occur in our munic
pal court the expense would be sOmethin
I unite d herent. Ii those three meu had bee
held over to the Gtheral Sessions court nei

y nf NV Castle county would probably su
Z, up mean $3.50 covering the cost Of tlial iul
expen-e, their keep in jal !, and other e,
peus,s. Of course it is presumed that Il
>. usual arrest as is the case we think, is lila
tiated in the persons of prisoners who ca
h not furnish the usual s2UO or $3.50 bail.

SUGLAND HANGED.
lie Commits suicide in his Cell Thursday
Noon.


BRATTLEBoRo, June 23.-John Sugland,
the negro suspected of the murder of
Helen a. Burt, committed suicide by
hanging in his cell this noon. The officer
had been diligently searching during the
forenoon for additional proof of his guilt
and had the assurance from Jake Cart
ledge another negro, locked mp yesterday,
that he would offer damaging evidence
against the accused at the afternoon SEES
sion of the court. Beside there was cur
rent but unreliable rumor that the muir
dered girls hat and parasol had been
found which might have come to the ears
of Sugland. 1t is generally inferred from
his conversation last night and his mani
fest nervousness that he thought the State
had more evidence AGAINST him than it
really had and this thought led him to sui
eide.
One witness testified during the trial
that Sugland had repeatedly threatened to
kill anyone that should keep company
with Addie and afterward would kill the
girl and then himself.
Sugland was u member of a colored
masonic lodge of Springfield, Mass, who
were notified of his death. His Dummer-
ston shanty was searched this morning.
seven shooter revolver, dirk knife,
and slungshut were discovered. Some
prominent Brattleboro witnesses were to
testify this afternoon to seeing Sugland
here Thursday, when the family positively
swore ne WAS at home. CARTRIDGE will
again go ON the stand tomorrow, and it Is
understood will testify to hearing Sugland
say he had killed the girl.

ADDISON COUNTY COURT.
The Flint Burglary Case Nearly Finished
The Mitchell Case Next.

MIDDLEBURY, June 24.-The trial of the
Flint burglary case has continued briskly
through the week and great mass OF evil
dence has been eXpeditiously puC in.
Every possible means has been used to
bring the case to close this week aud
that result is now plainly in view.
The direct evidence for the State was
conducted yesterday and that for the de
fence this afternoon. Not great deal of
time was consumed in the rebuttal and
snrrebuttal evidence aud at Ais
States Attorney Wilds began the sum
ming up for the State. The arguments
will take up the remainder of the eme OF
the court for the week and probably the
judge will not charge the jury until after
fhe recess over commencement.
MIDDLEBURY, June 26-The court wait
ed last night for the verdict in the Han
cock burglary case. The Court was sum
moned at ll45, and 10 minutes later the
jury rendered verdict of guilty. Flint
was taken completely by surprise, as was
also his counsel and those who attended
the trials from the first to the last Every
effort will be made by the defence to pro-
cure new trial So great interest was
taken in the case that the court room was
crowded when the verdict was rendered.
Court to RecOnvene July 5-The Mitchell
Case Next-A Witness Locked Up.
MIDDLEBURY, June 27.-The Flint trial
, is ended and for Flint it was three times
and out-unless his counsel succeed in the
efforts which they will put forth to obtain
new trial. Flint was much disheartened
by the verdict and it must have been d
severe blow to his counsel Messrs. Bal
lard and Plumley, who have worked hard
for their client and did not expect that II
would result as it has. For the State, the
case was prepared with the utmost care
and it was managed in court with ad-
mirable skill, greatly to the credit of
States Attorney Wilds and Mr. Bliss.
Judge Rowell went home this morning.
He was quite unwell Sunday and by the
advice of his physician he will not return
to reconvene court on Thursday, but will
defer the reopening till Tuesday, when
the Mitchell case will come on for its sec
ond trial.
Joseph Murray of Ripton was wanted
for witness in the Flint case, but eyaded
the officers. He came TO town Saturday
and wanted his witness fees, but was
locked up in Jail, where he now is repent
ing of the mistake he made in not showing
up in answer to the subpoena.

SENSATION AT BRISTOL.
An Insurance Agent FORCES Notes to the
Amount of a 1900 and Disappears.

The people of Bristol are greatly excited
over the disappearance of O. V. Carpenter
an insurance agent, and also agent for
organs and pianos. His flight was made
necessary by the fact that forged note in
the Nergennes bank for $3.50 had fallen
due, and NJ p. Narney and W. p. Chase
of Bristol, whose names appeared thereon,
had been notified of the fact, much to their
surprise. Carpenter acknowledged the
forgery to Varney and Chase. and urged
them to fix the matter up in some shape;
but they declined. He threatened to shoot
himself. and stated that he would
not leave the country, but changed
his mind. and started Thursday
morning, going north through Starksboro.
The matter was not publicly known until
about noon Friday, and the facts in the
case were, tor some unknown reason, held
back The Middlebury bank was notified
by their local correspondent Friday morn
ing that there was trouble there and, in
the afternoon Phelps Nash, one of its direc-
tors arrived in town with 5000 note,
bearing the names of NJ. p. Barney, w.
2. Chase, George Morgan and o. V. Car
penter This also proved to be forgery.
Carpenters method was to get the banks
to accept the notes, draw the money and
deposit 1t in the same bank and check it
out rs he wished to use it. He has been
doing this for the past four years.
The day he disappeared S. W. Hatch
cashed $50 check for him on the Yer
gennes bank. Hatch also cashed a S35
check about week ago, both of which he
will lose F. w. Nash holds a forged
note on r. f. Place, on which he loaned
Carpenter s.. Carpenter stated, previous
to his departure, that it would take about
$4,000 to settle his accounts. He was
| ri c CT
| liquor bill would amount to between -
and 50 day. Carpenter was liberal
hearted and jOyal companion. He
leaves wife, two daughters and a son.
1t transpires that short time ago j. j.
Ridley cashed a $50 note, purporting to
have been given by n. j. Mix of Hunting
ton. When the note was due Ridley mott
| fled Mix. The latter went to Bristol and
proved that he had never given such a
note. Carpenter, with the aid of friends
settled the matter by paying Ridley the
amount advanced.
The Amount of Spurious Notes Over
$4,000 and Others Still Appearing.
The Carpenter forgery case is still the
topic of conversation at Bristol. Forged
notes to the amount of S2l35 have come TO
| light so far and it transpires ,Alt the Mix
note was cashed about two years ago.
There is another note of sos bearing Mix S
signature with NJ. p. Varney as indorser
Patrick O'Neill of Bristol had his name
used for $l52. The name of George Nor
gan of MOnkton appears on note held in
Nergennes for something ike 500. Par
ties who were insured through Carpenter
are trifle anxious AT present They are
unable to decide whether they are in
sured or not. 1t is understood that the
Middebury and Vergennes bank people
will make an effort TO capture Carpenter

THE GAZETTE: FORT WORTH TEXAS Friday FEBRUARY q

the sweeping is properly done down here
in Texas. Meetings are being held almost
nightly and resolutions enough to make
volume as big as family Bible have
already been passed, and foundation is
being laid which will soon support s
structure large enough to hold every
aspiring politician in San Antonio. There
is NO industrious league or executive
committee about it. When the meeting
OF laborers representing the organizers
of the states was held at Austin several
weeks ago the delegates went home with
Instructions to at once begin agitation
in the matter OF creating
new party. Delegate Banks came back
and agitated G. W. Smith into an organ
izer for the new party in this county.
He has been quietly at work. His constl-
tuents now stand ready to hook on the
Cincinnati conventions platform and
name. Until something is done IN the
Buckeye metropolis, the San Antonio con-
tingent will continue to stand; they VIII
have meetings, however, and resolutions.
